SANTA CLARA, Calif. and INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — February 25, 2007 — Market2Lead, a provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) B2B automated marketing solutions that accelerate demand and revenue growth, and ExactTarget, a leading provider of on-demand email and one-to-one marketing solutions, announced that they have partnered to integrate ExactTarget’s email messaging web services into Market2Lead’s comprehensive, multi-channel marketing automation products.
